After the failed putsch of 1923 (Hitler Ludendorff hitler-Ludendorff-Putsch) different groups of the youth federation were resumed under pseudonyms. In the long run only one group in Plauen could hold itself around its leader Kurt Gruber. It succeeded to it to increase the number of members rapidly and 1926 came off on operation Grubers the union of some of such groups under the designation "largeGerman youth movement" (GDJB).
